SAN DIEGO, Tx, Oct. 18.-The base
ball club of San Diego played match
game in Corpus Christi On the 10th with
base ballers of that city, resulting in de-
feat to the San Diegoites of about Is to
10. This was not to be wondered ct, as
our lads have only been practicing short
time, and was composed mostly of young
men, clerks in stores or otherwise en-
gagged IN business, which prevented their
giving very much time or attention to
the game; and then, again, as 1 have
been informed, they played agiust the
picked players OF four clubs in the Bluff
City. This was certainly giving a great
advantage by our team, who are mere
lads, the most Of them, to their antagon-
lists. It is true cur Uniques had the
starch taken out of them, but the Bluff
City can't brag, for they did not beat half
as badly as they were beaten in our little
burg short time ago.
I have just heard of 8 sad accident
which occurred at Sinner ranch, in Nc
Mullen county, to Maxican, who was
hooked by steer, the horn going in IN
der his aw and coming out near his left
eye. He is in dangerous condition, but is
in the hands OF Dr. Wright, whose skill
may pull him through. We haYa.also to
report smother sad accident which oc-
Cured ct LsBobeds few days siGce TO
Willie, the six-Year- old son of Eff, and
Mrs. A. G. Doughty. The little fellow
stepped on q mesquite thorn, which pene-
trated deeply into his heel. On Satur-
day last his parents conveyed him TO
Collins, and not reaching there in time
for the train for this place took the down
train for Corpus Christi. The little child
is being attended by Drs. Spolm Tur-
pin, yet serious fears are entertained for
his recovery as lock aW has set in. Much
sympathy is felt for Mr.. and Mrs Doughty
by their relatives and friends in this
place, and kilograms have been sent in-
quiring how the child is doing and an
answer anxiously waited for at this
moment.
We learn that the Texas Mexican will
commence to run two trains daily after
the lst Of November, one day and one
night train, so that they can
make connection with the San
Antonio cars, and passengers will
lot have to lie over; this will be great
Improvement On the present plan, as now
passengers are obliged to stay one night
in Lsredo or in Corpus Christi.
Oar energetic young fellow townsman,
Mr.. John Cleary, left to day to take
position on the Arkansas Pass Railroad.
John is an active and go-ahesd business
man, and will push along.
